Chapter 175: The empress continues to hate Mei Mei
As the protagonist of the day, Mingzhu arrived in style for her party. She was still dressed as a general. Chi Lena and seen it fit to add a mask to the outfit. It was something that belonged to her as a child and it was a half mask which covered half of Mingzhu’s face.
There was a tamed Dracula parrot sitting on her shoulders. A small entourage of her friends followed her. Ironically, the general should have been the one following the princesses and princes.
Mingzhu came to a stop in the middle of the walk to the tents and she looked at the adults and other children. "Why aren’t you singing happy birthday to me? Mommy, don’t we sing for other babies on their birthdays?"
A host of confused faces turned to ’mommy. She blinked a few times like a sheep in headlights and then she gestured for everyone to raise their voices and sing.
And so, Wu Tangning and Haena exchanged unappreciative glances as and competed in whose voice could belt out the words more melodiously and at the highest pitch. The rest of the guests felt that their very normal voices could not compete so they surrendered and left it to the professionals.
"They know that it not a stage, right?" Great great grandmother Jun whispered to her husband.
The old man shrugged. What could he say about the overall after all. What mattered was that his great great granddaughter was having fun, and she was. She was waving that wooden sword in the air and swaying from side to side without rhythm as the two singers seemed to create a new version of the happy birthday song.
"She knows it is not her birthday, right?" Chen Na, Chi Zimo’s wife whispered a question in a very confused voice.
Her husband laughed, retrieving a lighter from his pocket which he started waving a small flame in the air from side to side. "She knows, many of us said it to her over and over, but much like my niece Mei Mei, her daughter seems to be of hard hearing. She filters information and only hears that which she wants to. Anyway, it is not as if we cannot afford to throw her another party like this later on in the year on the day of her real birthday."
